The Mercedes AMG F1 engine.I recently noticed a major uptick in the number of readers coming to the site focused on one article in particular. Why readers would suddenly flock to an article on technologies designed to improve future fuel economy — and that was over one and a half years old — was perplexing. A quick search discovered articles speculating about which of the F1 engine suppliers was using Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI), and for how long. Some of these articles pulled directly from my article, while others gave it as a reference, but the increase in readership had multiple spikes. The first took place when Ferrari partnered with Mahle, and adapted TJI to its powertrain for the 2015 season. The most recent came during the run up to the Canadian Grand Prix where Renault was rumored to be using the technology for the first time.
